Chapter 120: Two Parts
Under the leadership of Zhao Qingyu and the heralds, the 1502 Ranger Battalion rode on war horses and rushed out of the valley on the side of the 1601 Battalion.
After coming to the open place, as Zhao Qingyu and his subordinate heralds shouted the order of the "Sharp Arrow Formation" together, the soldiers of the 1502nd Battalion of the 15th Ranger Regiment quickly adjusted their formation.
Next, at a distance of 300 meters, with Zhao Qingyu's gesture and wave, the herald blew out three cornets, and the rangers' team also experienced three accelerations.
Finally, at a distance of 50 meters from the enemy, the speed of the war horse was raised to the highest point.
The sound of hooves was like thunder.
Although there are only more than 500 war horses, under the control of the Rangers who have been trained and tempered by a long period of war, the coordinated hooves of the horses resonate, but they are as thrilling as ten thousand horses galloping.
The enemy was stunned by the sudden loud thunder, and it took several seconds to come to their senses.
Although it was only a few seconds, these seconds were also extremely critical when the cavalry charged, because of these few seconds, the ranger battalion had once again taken the initiative and took this opportunity to adjust the formation.
The officers and veterans in the queue shouted in horror for the Houjin army, who had already fired the projectiles in the bird's gun, asking everyone to concentrate as much as possible, pick up spears and single knives for defense.
It's a pity that under the conscious shelling of infantry artillery, they were originally divided into huge gaps every 20 meters.
In a hurry, how can it be possible to fill so many loopholes.
Within 10 seconds, the Rangers were already in front of the Houjin Army's position.
The Houjin army hadn't even set up the array, and even the bird guns that had been fired once, and the fire ropes that had been extinguished by the air waves had not yet been rekindled, let alone loaded with ammunition.
As a result, from the time they appeared in front of the Houjin army, in less than 10 seconds, 500 rangers had already dispersed in a company and rushed into the weakness of the Houjin army.
The Ranger Battalion is as natural and fluid as a set of movements, which seems to be very simple to outsiders.
However, if you don't have more than two years of rigorous training, plus more than 10 times of actual combat experience, it is really wishful thinking to complete the whole set of actions of shock, adjusting formation, and accelerating the charge three times in just 10 seconds.
The 1502nd Battalion of the Rangers used a Sharp Arrow.
Rushing into the several teams in the Houjin army, the soldiers who took the lead at the front were the key to the sharp arrow formation, and they were all the elite of the elite of each company.
The elite Rangers control their horses on their legs, wielding revolverss in one hand to eliminate ranged targets that threaten them, while wielding sabers in the other, slashing, slashing, and groping. The intimidating action of the stab.
When this cavalry group charges, the shining saber in the Ranger's hand is more intimidating than the jet-black barrel.
Under the threat of the saber, the Houjin army, which had begun to prepare to meet and form a group to resist the cavalry charge, was once again forcibly enlarged by a few points.
This is the essence of the Blade Formation, only after the elites in front can smoothly widen the path of the charge, the cavalry troops behind will follow and rush into the enemy formation.
If the "sharp arrows" of this front arrow formation fail to open up the situation, then the large forces behind will suddenly turn around and sweep past the front of the enemy position under the leadership of the officer.
At this point, it's time to implement a different set of tactics.
Fortunately, the Ranger's Blade successfully completed the mission.
Therefore, it was natural that those large units of rangers, according to the tactical regulations, rushed directly into the enemy array along the road opened up by the sabre cavalry.
However, this large group of troops is not just brandishing sabers to intimidate.
Except for the occasional less than one-fifth of the Rangers, who wielded their sabers to keep the passage open, the rest of the Rangers were armed with pump-action rifles and fired the bullets in both directions.
The 7+1 round capacity, as well as the simple mechanical structure that can be smoothly reloaded and reloaded by simply pulling the sleeve, make this rifle exceptionally suitable for immediate shooting.
And the loss of accuracy caused by the bumps of the war horse is not a problem at all in the face of close shooting, as well as 9 deer bullets, or even shotguns with dozens of projectiles.
When using pump-action rifles and shotguns, as long as you can maintain a good balance on your horse, you will not miss the target.
In less than 5 seconds, the Ranger battalion was already in the passage of the Houjin army, and made a crossing.
Originally, according to the content of the lecture hall, at this time, the cavalry should flee away, form a team, and find the opportunity to make the next charge.
However, after leaving behind a bloody storm, the soldiers of the 1502nd Battalion of the Ranger did not abide by this principle and walked away.
Because Zhao Qingyu discovered a new fighter.
When he led the team through the depth of the enemy array just now, he keenly discovered that in the depth of the enemy army, there was actually a dividing line that was not too wide.
Although he didn't know why there were such obvious holes in the rear of the enemy army, as a veteran who had been in the army for six years and had experienced countless battles, he felt that this was an opportunity.
So, just as he was about to break out of the enemy array, he blew his whistle and turned his horse's head around and rushed towards the dividing line in the depths of the enemy.
This long whistle, when assembling, means to be on par with him, and in the process of charging, it is to express "Rush with me." ”
Under normal circumstances, the speed of the cavalry charge is not fast, generally about 20 kilometers per hour, at this speed, the cavalry can not only maintain a strong impact force, but also ensure that when the situation is not right, flexibly turn in other directions, to avoid hitting the enemy army column that is waiting for the battle.
However, this charge, because of the artillery to open the way, the rangers had already seen the hole, and with the courage of this master, under the leadership of Zhao Qingyu, the leader, the ultra-high horse speed of about 60 kilometers per hour was adopted.
This speed allowed the Rangers to exert a great advantage in firepower while minimizing casualties as much as possible.
However, as I said before, there is a certain reason for the speed limit of cavalry charges, and if the speed is fast, it also has its disadvantages, that is, it is not easy to turn in rapid action.
Just like the current Ranger Battalion, Zhao Qingyu blew the whistle, but there were soldiers who were able to kill and missed the whistle and rushed straight out of the passage.
Only a part of the cavalry behind them, after hearing the whistle, quickly turned their heads and saw that the commander had turned.
Thus, the 1502nd Ranger Battalion was immediately divided into two parts.
One team rushed straight behind the Jin army, and the other team followed Zhao Qingyu to the right to re-enter the enemy formation.
